I love Adam and have myself seen Freddie Mercury in him! It just blows my mind that Adam said, The spirit of Freddie is alive because I believe him!Every time I see Adam perform I get goosebumps! The same has always held true when it comes to Freddie as well goosebumps every time!I love them both,they are both a gift from God to us all! Amazing!
For years all I listened to was Freddie Mercury and Queen. When someone told me that Queen had been on AI the night before, I went to YouTube, and wow was I in for a revelation! When Adam sang his verses for We Are The Champions I was absolutely blown away. I had never, ever heard a male pop/rock singer with a voice like his. I love Adam. His voice, his personality, his (to die for) looks. He has the talent to become the best male (pop/rock) vocalist in history. He has a ways to go to catch up with Freddie in the overall ability, but it is early days in his career. Freddie could have 200,000 fans in the palm of his hand in big stadiums, an incredible gift. And an amazing voice as well. I will always love Freddie, my first obsession, and now Adam, my newest obsession. I saw his show in person and he had the audience totally enthralled. I hope people give him a chance and listen to him - they will fall in love too.
I think if Adam will sing "Killer Queen" or "Melancholy Blues" just once he will kill his audeince. And "Sure Fire Winner" will become "We ar the Champions" on next single one and video
Just try it, darling. I am sure you will loof fantasitc.!
P.S. Freddie loves you
I loved this, glad that they asked Adam's opinion too. I mean two awesome vocal talents and performers! 20 years from now I wonder what people will say about Adam? It will be incredible journey and we lucky fans get to see his talent develop
50 years from now, when i'm gonna tell my grandchildren about MY top 50 greates voices ever... i'm pretty sure Freddie and Adam will be sharing the lead
(just hope i'll get to live that long hehe)
I listened to Freddie Mercury and I will listen to Freddie Mercury as long as I will live. And I am really happy that I was introduced to Adam Lambert and his voice though American Idol. To me it was a revelation. Since then I am a proud Glambert and pretty sure that Adam's talent will be cherished and appreciated by future generations!
hahaha .. ure good
Heard it on my way to nanny... Of COURSE they would talk with you about him...
Openly gay...Very theatrical...Rock God... Yep. He was amazing. His career was unmatched. We look forward to the same for you, sweet boy. Continued love and success! Peace...xo
congrats babe!U're always da bst
When I saw Adam first time- I guess it was top 12 on American Idol, I thought about Freddie. And it wasn't about voice, but about performance and power. Adam has Quebec already and I am sure one day he will have big show that everybody remember for long time. Freddie had (has) Wembly, Rio, Budapest! Good luck, Adam!
Freddie is my icon. His voice will stay with people forever. I am really happy to hear what Adam said about Freddie.

P.S. One more think. It's about IIHY on VH1. IIHY was blocked and we can find how many votes and how many comments Adam got since Saturday. I checked and found that only IIHY has this problem. But I think we still have to vote for Adam!
MY Adam will be and is already one of the 50 Greatest Voices ever! There is just something about Adam that makes you lose yourself in his music. He is a phenomenal entertainer, and I listen to him every day. I am so glad that he is sharing his gift with us, and I hope that he has a very long career. Keep smiling : ) Love you!
Adam spoke so well! But what else is new?! Boyfriend has justified my love yet AGAIN!! <3
Adam,
I saw Freddie Mercury many moons ago, and saw you in Concord,NH Aug 16th. There's no doubt , you will be one of the 50 Greatest Voices.
Awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! xo
Adam, good for you! You got a chance to talk about one of your fav artists. Freddie was talented, had great showmanship and so do you. I know one day you will be on that same list of the 50 greatest. Keep rockin!!
He was one of only 2 people they interviewed for it, and they included so many quotes from him. That's totally awesome.
Adam congrats to getting the chance to talk about Freddie Mercury!!!!! You are sooooo sweet and should be one of the 50 greatest voice!!! I know one day on the list of 50 greatest you will see your name!!!!! Love you!!!

Adam,
I loved Freddie Mercury, he too had the whole package great talent and looks--but to me your voice is better and you're more even better looking. Also, Freddie's talent transcended time you can listen to any record of his and it's appropriate. I think that'll be the case for you too. Keep rockin cause we love you...
Always,
